FLIGHT CONTROLS CALIBRATION & DAMPING
Calibration is necessary to bring the iGATE flight controls (yoke,
pedal and throttle system) controls (NON CL!) into proper toleranc-
es and allow ELITE to learn the limits of the of the controls. (Pressing
the HELP button in the Calibration dialog box will open on screen
instructions and walk you through the calibration process.) NOTE:
Control loading on pitch, roll and yaw do not require calibration.
Under Controls click the SET button next to calibration. The Calibra-
tion screen is divided into three sections or “panels.” From left to right
these are; Limits, Null zone, and Helicopter respectively.
Follow these instructions to properly calibrate your flight control
device(s):
LIMITS
Under Limits, click the RESET button. Now move your non CL
controls through their FULL range of motion, i.e. left, right, forward
and backward to the stops. The cross-hairs have now traced a blue
box graphically representing the limits of the control device being
used. Next apply FULL left and right rudder pedal. You will see a
small vertical line move with the application of pedal input. Click
SET to store the new limits settings.
